The only issue left is the remodeling of the north wing asked for by the state, hospital administrator Mike Shaw reported Tuesday to a meeting of the Summit County Commission. Meanwhile, Dr. James Mason, head of the State Department of Health, released re-leased his detailed inspection inspec-tion report of last February. He told reporters that within 60-90 days the county must establish a course of action for the wing, or his department depart-ment will again take action to close the hospital. Two changes in the hospital's hospi-tal's management were announced at the commission commis-sion meeting. AHS Division General Manager Robert Smith said that Shaw would be leaving the hospital within a few weeks, to be replaced by Park City resident resi-dent Greg Kusiak. The commission also appointed an advisory commission to help them solve the remodeling remodel-ing problem and to set goals for the hospital after the contract with AHS expires on August 2. Advanced Health gave their contractual 6-month 6-month notice last February, citing inability to sustain operating losses. The advisory board consists con-sists of Summit County residents Glen Brown, June Ann Oldham, Irene Hoyt, Harold Richins, and Mayor Merlyn Johnson of Coalville. Shaw's projected new post would be in Taos, New Mexico, said Smith. "Mike needs to be moving on. It's not that he's blown anything here." Commissioners said a major ma-jor question for them was the price for Summit County to make the remodeling. The cost had been estimated last 0Sk Whadd'ya 1 now : by Rick Brough The Newspaper didn't make it into the Top 5, but it wasn't exactly left in the dust either at last weekend's Media Medley, held at the Park City Ski Area. The team's collective time for their Giant Slalom runs down Clementine was only two seconds behind the fifth-place winners, KSL Radio. However, they were sort of far behind the first-place winners, the KUTV News, who beat out the second-placers from KDAB-FM by barely .07 seconds. The most impressive individual performance on The Newspaper team was Tina "Suzie Chapstick" Moench, who won second place in the Women's "A" division. Bob Grieve scored the next fastest time for the paper, and was followed by David Hampshire, Bill Dickson, Sabina Rosser, Marion Cooney, Morgan Queal, and Mike Spaulding. The all-time best skier at The Newspaper is Jan Wilking, or as we call him, "Stein." We probably could have scored in the Top 5 if he had been around to help us. But noooooooooooo! Wilking was traveling in Sun Valley that weekend. I ask you, what good is a publisher if we can't get a few trophies off him? The Media Medley is supposed to bring out the celebrities from Salt Lake, but they were few and far between. The recognizable faces included Craig Wirth (who lived up to his bumbling image, reports say, in his ski performance), Larry Warren from Channel Two, former anchorman Phil Riesen, and Jim Montgomery from PM Magazine. You could keep busy looking for the Park City celebs, such as Carol Calder from Planning Commission, Park Record editor Max Jarman; the town's pint-sized Minnelli, Jackie Craigle; Laura Thomas from the resort, and business mavens Jess Reid and Jere Calmes. One of our "How About it" respondents last week proves that you can't judge a book by its cover. We featured a gent named Roger Strong, who wears a cowboy hat and looks as if he just kicked the manure off his shoes before talking to us. Actually, he's a research physicist, and he's taking part in an experiment in "proton-decay" in the Spiro Tunnel. Parkites had a fighting interest in the winners this week at the Oscars. "Chariots of Fire," the surprise winner for best picture, received its Intermountain premiere last fall, with star Ben Cross making a personal appearance. Residents opened the U.S. Film & Video Festival last January with a showing of "On Golden Pond" which garnered Oscars for Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn (her fourth an all-time Oscar record for any actor). Ernest Thompson, this year's winner for Best Adapted Script, had been mixing with the Utahns at the festival. And another festival favorite, "Close Harmony," won the award for best short documentary. One side-note: Whenever the film "Reds" won an award, the orchestra launched into the anthem of Communism, "The Internationale." We're reminded that the Academy was founded by movie moguls who rabidly hated Communism, and abetted the witchhunts of the late 1940s. That sound you heard Monday night wasn't trucks on Park Avenue; it was Louis B. Mayer turning in his grave. year at $150,000-175,000, said Shaw. The state's report said the north wing was deficient, citing improper physical separation of the surgery and obstetrical from the other areas, deterioration of the floor area ; improper air circulation, and other defects. de-fects. Health Department spokesman Lee Shaw said it should find out in 90 days how the county plans to change the situation. "If they wanted to remodel, we would expect to see some type of construction schedule by then," he said. The state could also suggest sug-gest another status for the facility, such as an in-patient clinic, he said. But if nothing changed, "Dr. Mason has said we would close it down as a hospital." In his press conference of friday, Dr. Mason reviewed the inspection's history at a Salt Lake press conference. After he saw the state's report, in late February, he said, he felt immediate action should be taken to meet the deficiencies. On March 2, the state asked for closure, saying there was little evidence of (1) proper supervision by the governing board, (2) proper medical practice and (3) proper infection control. The hospital hospi-tal made some immediate procedural changes, Mason said, which enabled it to keep open. But the state's report stressed the importance impor-tance of supervision and records. Mike Shaw responded that the hospital's practices were proper, just not documented or were recorded in documents docu-ments not sought by the state. Since the state's report on Friday the medical, pharmaceutical, and nursing personnel have firmed up their procedural policies. "I don't really believe we were in violation," he said, "but anyway, we are now in complete compliance." The state still disagrees with the hospital on infection control. The hospital said it has had no post-operative infections for the last three years. But the state reports hospitals have an average 5 percent infection, and quoted a medical text which said "... if a hospital indicates that it has no problem, it is almost a certainty that the staff is not conducting a surveillance." Lee Shaw said the hospital could not prove low infection because they had no records. "I really hope it's true," said Shaw. "But let them prove it." but AHS officials said the state is mistaken because it judges the small Coalville hospital, which rarely performs per-forms surgery, by the standard stan-dard of large hospitals. "We have surgery so little it would take years before we could detect a 5 percent infection rate," said Kusiak. Much of the discussion, however, concerned not the ' hosptial's past operation, but its future. "We want to keep the hospital open," said Commissioner Carl Ovard. "But not at any cost," added Commissioner Bill Wallin. AHS's Smith said his firm intended to do whatever the county wanted, whether to leave or to stay. The commission directed County Attorney Bob Adkins and Shaw to write a letter to the state, indicating the hospital's response to each deficiency. The commission also said it wished to meet with the state to trade construction ideas for the north wing. Advanced Health has a blueprint, and Commissioners said the state had showed them a remodeling plan prepared by its staff. by Very Wholesome Ah, April 1st ... the first signs of spring are working their way out of the ground ... little crochi? (ses), yellow daffodils, bright" colored scraps of paper, orange peels, red tulips, used paper diapers (need I describe the color), tiny empty mini-bottles ... memories of a fun-filled winter. And what have we here ... these fine white perfectly-formed perfectly-formed miracles of nature falling down on the new flowers (and old garbage) piling up foot after miserable foot of wet, too-oft-seen snow. Yes, it's April Fools, all right. Speaking of fools, ghouls and just plain and simple murderers, I saw my first potgut (ground squirrel, to some) tentatively searching search-ing along the edge of the highway, curiously wandering toward the pavement. Its sweet little nose was sniffing the wind (exploring its new world of spring) then timidly tiptoing onto the asphalt, and THUMPF! Another of the little sweethearts bites the dust. This whole problem of potgut abuse needs to be addressed. Imagine the sorrow when momgut has to tell the wee ones that pop is lying in the road squished beyond recognition. No more bedtime stories about Mr. MacGregor's driveway. I have several answers to the potgut abuse problem : 1. Summit County (because of its large population of the critters) should be getting more state funds for potgut abuse. Naturally, a survey or questionnaire should be circulated among the masses (of potguts, of course) to find the scope of the problem 2. The nighway patrolmen snoula Degin citing cit-ing drivers who hit one of these little fellows. A tire check would show evidence of ' wrongdoing. Just the other day the driver of a new red (and fancy, one-of-a-kind) Jaguar was seen flattening the little cuties at a rapid rate. 3. Special reduced speed zones should be made in areas of greatest population. It could be a lot like driving down Park Avenue (Park City's finest) and we know how good we've become at dodging since the speed was lowered. 4. Little underpasses would be the true answer an-swer and wouldn't cost too much. A little training might be necessary at first, but the smarter potguts would learn ... and live. El Salvador, Vietnam, Ireland and the Middle East are nothing compared to the carnage of little beasts on the spring highways. high-ways. Let's get behind the solutions to this problem ... a little community spirit goes a long way ... Little placards reading "Don't Tread on Me" are available for your favorite little friend at the Burrow Bureau. Magpies not welcome. All this talk, of course, reminds me that the Pharoah Theatre is showing some wonderful plays and performances that anyone would want to take in... The party Saturday night celebrating the well-known entrepreneur of specialty items was wonderful, although the turn things took around midnight was alarming after you know-who started you-know-what ... Did that strike a nerve with you, dear reader? It certainly cer-tainly did with me! I guess Park City is not tne quiet nine town yours truly keep expecting expect-ing to find here in the closeness of the mountains moun-tains ... ah, well.
